any other court costs that the court is required by law to impose upon the

Nine dollars, if the act, if committed by an adult, would be a misdemeanor.

The thirty or nine dollars court costs shall be collected in
all cases unless the court determines the juvenile is indigent and waives the
payment of all court costs, or enters an order on its journal stating that it
has determined that the juvenile is indigent, that no other court costs are to
be taxed in the case, and that the payment of the thirty or nine dollars court
costs is waived. All such moneys collected during a month shall be transmitted
